The start script checks if it should start the 32 bit binary and check for 32 bit dependencies or if your system is 64 bit. It does that with the command "arch" which doesn't work on most linux boxes. If you type "arch" in your terminal it will probably not find the command. It should rather look for architecture with uname and some parameters.

To fix this go to your steamapps folder -> common -> Amensia Demo. There should be some shell script which gets called when you click play. Edit it and you will see something like

if ["arch" == i686]./checkdepends32./launchbin32

else {

if ["arch" == x86_64]./checkdepends64./launchbin64}etc.

I have not installed it anymore so I can't tell you how the script is called exactly just open some of the files with nano or gedit and see if they look like this.

Change this so that it just executes the right commands ( the ./abcd stuff) for your architecture but doesn't have to call "arch" in the if condition which will fail because there is no "arch" command. Now save it and click play it should work now.

I just found out the launcher window does work - it just doesn't display its contents properly. I went on a mad clicking spree inside the window and apparently I found the right hotspot near the bottom left-middle since the game actually started.

Try running "which arch" without the quotes.On my machine it gives$ which archwhich: no arch in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:~/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

So there is no binary named "arch" in $PATH .

A portable solution would be to replace `arch` with `uname -m`. uname is part of coreutils, so it should be installed on every linux distribution.
